Three days ago my brother's friends sister saw my brother's ex-fiance in the parking lot at shop n' save. She saw she had my brothers 15 month old son in the car and her 2 week old daughter in the car. She got out of the car without the kids and went in the store. She was in the store 15 minutes before the girl saw her come back out. The girl called her brother to tell him what she saw. He called my brother and my brother didn't do anything about it nor did the girl who witnessed it. My brother's ex-fiance claims to be a good mother to her 4 kids and she does stuff like that. That's just wrong in my opinon. He got stuck with supervised visitation 3 hours a week and she treats her kids like that. What do you all think?

I think you're insane if you leave your kids in a car any time of year and go into a store. How the hell could you do that and not worry about them being kidnapped, injured, or worse?
why didnt your brother do anything! i would have called the cops! that is do dangerous!
I guess what gets me is she has called dfs on my brother twice. Both times he was investigated but the alligations were found to be untrue. My mother called dfs on her and they didn't even investigate her. My brother called dfs on her for neglect of medical care for their 3 year old daughter and dfs didn't investigate her. My brother is so fed up with dfs not doing a danm thing to make sure his kids are safe. When he heard what she had done he said whats the point it's not like they will do anything about it. He pays her over $800 in child support and only gets to see his kids 3 hours a week supervised and she gets them and treats them like that. So unfair the system. What has to happen before they'll do something about it.

I think the person who saw the kids in the car should have called the police rather than all the other people she called. Why does your brother have supervised visitation?

Because his kids are 15 months old, 3 years old and 5 years old. He has not seen the kids in 10 months since she moved out. The courts felt it best that the visitations be limited and supervised to find out if it's in the childrens best interest to start seeing their father again.

It is illegal to leave a child in a car alone. My daughter forgot her 3 year old son in the grocery store parking lot. The police were called. She was arrested on child endangerment. She went to court, pled guilt and was ordered to attend parenting classes. CPS came to her home and did a complete evaluation to see if the children were in any danger.

This is more then wrong, I believe it should be illegal. In this day and age you should never leave a baby OR child in the car alone. I am not sure if it is illegal, but I would definitely call CPS. This is so wrong on all levels.
I hate to say it but the answer is serious injury or death.
Do you all live in California? California is supposedly the strictest state when it comes to children and such, but that's a load of BS. I live in California and, despite evidence and everything, the system just gave custody of my two minor siblings to their father who was found guilty on two counts of child molestation, multiple counts of child abuse and one count of domestic violence. Yeah, lovely system we have.
